@Harbringer ohhh, I see! Thanks for the offer, but I think I have a good grasp of it. The only gripe I have is with romanticism, but that's my class's current unit, so oh well...

[SirBeowulf]

At this time, this RP is closed to further interest. All players who have already expressed interest, but have not provided me with a character sheet will have 36 hours to complete their character applications.

@vietmyke

When will you be throwing up the OOC?

[Howler]

@Harbringer If you're alright with it, I'd ask you to keep your current melee murder machine. If @Kimiyosis is rocking a long range support--which is what I was going to change it to--I'd just as soon see if I can polish up my current snipey-bitch to meet the grade.

<Snipped quote by vietmyke> When will you be throwing up the OOC?

@SirBeowulf

Right now I think I'm mostly waiting on Howler and Kimiyosis to make characters. Once the 36 hours, or their character sheets- whichever comes first finishes, I'll provide them with feedback, and announce the Cast. If everything goes according to plan, OOC/IC should start this weekend, if not a bit earlier.

[Kimiyosis]

So, requesting two item/weapon/equipment exceptions. One, an autoloader version of your Warhammer Artillery System, except upping the WT to 5. Two, an energized/electrified Alloy Shield, adding 2 PWR to the 4 WT.

@Kimiyosis

Explain the purpose of each? Also, what do you mean by autoloader? Do you mean a faster reloading system? Or a hand held autocannon that fires 150mm shells?

[Kimiyosis]

Autoloader, the cannon can fire three 150mm cannon in the span of a second, but takes five times the length of time to reload the 'clip' than a normal single shot/reload 150mm cannon. Also, never mind the electrified shield, just realized that defeats the purpose of my build.

[vietmyke]

I'll allow that without requiring added weight- a three round burst for an extended reload time

[Kimiyosis]

Gah, long range heavy ended up with 34/35 PWR and WT(Improve Reactor for +5 PWR)....two hour running time is one the short side, even for a prototype experiment. I have Internal Targetting and Radar, Sonar spikes, Primarily Laser, the Artillery(from one of the defaults), improved reactor output, built in ballistics and missiles, class 5 shield, alloy shield, and heavy plating. Any idea what I can change?

[Harbringer]

Level down the shield one

[vietmyke]

dropping the shield down to class 4 would free up power and weight, keep in mind that while class 2-4 shields have 5 wt, class 5 shields have 10 wt

@vietmyke

Q See? I am teh smarts

[Harbringer]

@Kimiyosis for a second i read improved rectal output. Might want to change that.

"No matter where you hide, Calamity will always rain down upon you.

CS

Yuuyami

Image Appearance Details: Her left eye is actually a Cybernetic Eye, due to an accident that had destroyed it. It allows her to uplink into her MAS only. Generally only the right eye is open, the left is kept closed unless needed. She stands at 5'6 Name: Yuuyami Suyasuya, or Yuu Age: 29 Gender: Female Callsign/Codename: Echo Kills: 41 Psychological Analysis: Yuuyami, and extremely odd of a person. In most cases, she would be easily labelled as an eccentric individual, both in and out off battle. Known to be a metal-head, or someone who fawns over the MAS, many an officer had to physically pry her from performing maintenance on other pilots' suits. When in battle, she becomes an asset to the team, guarding the rear while still capable of providing fire support for the vanguards. Keeping her cool even when under sustained fire, choosing her targets carefully, before firing. This is especially true with the Calamity Artillery, as she only fires it at targets designated by the leader, or whenever given the order to fire at any targets. Although unusual, she communicates through text while inside a MAS, using her cybernetic eye to 'type' out the words on a virtual keyboard, before sending the message to appear in the corner of the receiver's HUD. When not around MAS or in battles, one will find Yuuyami to be a very...whimsical. Sometimes you may find her deeply focused on battle records, and creating her database for the progress of her MAS. Other times she can be associating with others, a somewhat calm yet happy demeanor. And then there are those times when she takes a nap in the most inopportune situations. Due to we habits of doing whatever her whim leads her to do, she doesn't have a sleeping schedule. The only times when she will never sleep, is during a battle, as the adrenaline rush keeps her awake. Something that might be interesting, is that while she's fine with her call sign or her nickname, if any refers to her as Calamity Queen, she becomes red faced and embarrassed. Military Record: Yuuyami was a special case even amongst the exceptions within the academy. She wasn't an elite by natural born talent, nor was she the utmost genius. It was due to her father's profession, that Yuuyami would be as capable as he could be. Her father, was the head of a research team for MAS development, with the focus on long range fire support. Whenever she had a holiday or a period of time where he wasn't occupied by training, she would go to her father's lab, where she would peer with curiosity at the designing and planning process for a MAS. Learning the basics of how a MAS would be built, she then used it for training, either by targeting weak points, guarding her own, or utilizing the movement of the training MAS to its limits without breaking it(she did damage the suspension multiple times), she earn praise and envy from her fellow peers. After graduating from the academy, instead of being thrown into a MAS unit like everyone else, Yuuyami was 'drafted' in as a MAS tester. Meaning, she became the pilot for the prototypes being built, mostly from her own father's lab. Though this may sound like a once in a lifetime, lottery level task, it was one that not many veteran MAS pilots would do. Prototypes are known for generally being volatile and prone to unexpected accidents, which can result in the loss of one's life. Being as the war was brewing, even the prototypes were being thrown into live combat, with the battle logs and records being used as data for improvements. More often than not, the MAS would always be returned heavily damaged. At one point, a metal fragment dislodged by an explosion had flung into her left eye, destroying it, and forcing the woman to obtain a cybernetic eye in replacement. One of the newer prototypes, in an attempt to upgrade the current Centurion MAS, was outfitted with an 'upgrade' to the Warhammer, the Calamity. It was here, that the brass took note of Yuuyami, as she laid waste to swaths of enemies from the rear of the attacks, while shrugging off minor attacks. Having the MAS refitted, this time adding the missile swarms, the Type 2 was a force to be reckoned with. Being at the back of the assaults, traditional weaponry could not target past the vanguard, nor could missiles touch her due to the swarm missiles. By the time Yuuyami was operating the second refit, allies and enemies alike have started referring to her as Echo, in regards to the thunderous echo of the Calamity firing. Although for a short time, she was actually referred to as 'Calamity Queen', since no one expected a frail looking woman to be piloting a monstrosity like the Type 2. It was recently after piloting the Type 3, that a recruiter invited her to join the 101st Legion, where the prototype could see battles that one normally wouldn't have seen, allowing for a large, unrivaled database to be formed on the current progress of the Type 3. It has now been two months since she joined the Legion, but her skills along with her MAS fit nicely. Equipment: A battle rifle and a very odd yet exotic weaponized pen. Appearing as a large silver fountain pen with golden trims, it is actually a single shot pistol loaded with a .32 pistol round. The pen's tip also doubles back as a rather sharp stake. What seems to be interesting is that the pen is usable for writing, although just a single page's worth requires two refills. Ink capacity is low due to the chambered round. The battle rifle is a basic marksman handed weapon, with a 4x scope.

Sovereign’s Thunder

Appearance: Designation: P-SOC-OBU Thunder Type 3, nicknamed 'Sovereign', although also called 'Sovereign's Thunder'. Role: Long Range Artillery Support, Weapons Platform, Missile-Denial Chassis: Heavy Engine: Improved Hexa-Core Engine 35 PWR Operating Time: 8 Hours Description: The prototype MAS Type 3 is a recent refit to the Type 2, which in turn was a refit of the Type one, with emphasis on long range combat, firepower, and durability. With all the systems and weaponry onboard the MAS, it is a miracle that it has a running time of eight hours, something that has disputed the request for the mini-nuke experimental reactor to be built into it. The Type 3 was meant to be an extensive upgrade to the PTX-088 Centurion, although so far, only one prototype has been built. Currently still under testing phase. Systems: Calamity 150mm Autoloaded Artillery System. 3 WT 2 PWR. - A massive cannon built into the back of the Sovereign, this artillery piece was designed as an upgrade to the Warhammer Artillery System, although many have said that it is a variant instead of an upgrade, as only the loader has changed, the cannon stayed the same. The Calamity features an Autoloader, with the cannon capable of firing a 'clip' of three rounds in under two seconds. While the burst fire rate is high, the time it takes to reload the clip is five times longer than the Warhammer. Carries the same amount as the Warhammer, hence 50 150mm shells. AIO Saviors 30mm Auto-Flak 5 WT 2 PWR - The Saviors is a multi-purpose direct fire cannon, capable of firing different rounds suitable for different situations, ranging from HEAT to APCR to even Flak. However, to switch rounds, you need someone outside to externally load them, or be loaded in a carrier(which means someone loading them manually anyways). Carries 200 rounds. FB Trinity Laser Cannon 2 WT 4 PWR - A versatile laser cannon, designed for moderate ranged combat. Generally used only when the Saviors aren't an option. (2x)LC Aegis Heavy Machinegun (2x)1 WT 0 PWR - Anti-personnel and the anti-missile defense once the Hellfire missiles have been depleted. Holds 500 rounds, fires at 2 rounds a second, somewhat on the slow side for a MG. Hellfire Swarm Missile System 3 WT 2 PWR - Instead of the usual missile systems designed for a sure-kill attack, the Hellfire Swarm Missiles are meant to take down other missiles. Extremely small(think water bottle size), and jammed with explosives, the missiles are fired, and destroys large, singular missiles with direct impact, or multiple small missiles with a proximity detonation. These missile can be used for bombardment on unarmored targets, with the small and nimble size making it difficult to knock down. However, due to their original purpose, the missile is rather fragile, and will be destroyed from concentrated point-defense, while armor basically shrugs off these small missiles(although unarmored weak spots are a different story). Built into both shoulders, each side can fire sixteen(4x4), totaling at thirty-two missiles. Class 4 Energy Shield 5 WT 10 PWR - Having lower maneuverability than lighter MAS, the Sovereign was built with an Energy Shield designed to take hits. Large Alloy Shield 4 WT 0 PWR - In addition to the energy shield, the Sovereign also wields a large alloy shield in the off-hand, capable of covering two thirds of the MAS from the front. Heavy Alloy Plating 7 WT 0 PWR - As if the alloy and energy shield weren't enough, there is also the external playing that adds protection onto the Sovereign. Sonar Stakes 1 WT 2 PWR - A system with more than one use, this has seen a lot more use on the Sovereign than any other system asides from the Calamity Artillery. On the ground, the Sonar Stakes allows the MAS to lock itself on the ground, while providing detection capabilities against ground units. Most importantly, this lowers the movement of the MAS from the recoil of the 150mm cannon when anchored. Smart Target AI 0 WT 3 PWR - By allowing the Sovereign to track up to 40 targets instead of the usual 5, the Hellfire Swarm Missiles are now capable of being a formidable anti-missile system, in conjuction with the Aegis MG. Enhanced Internal Radar Suite 0 WT 3 PWR - A very useful system, especially for a MAS with the range capability such as the Sovereign, the radar system is a powerful tool to locate possible targets from long range. Advanced Internal Targeting Suite 0 WT 3 PWR - Yet another powerful tool, this system is almost mandatory for utilizing the Calamity Artillery, most prominently in-atmosphere. Improved Reactor Output 3 WT +5 PWR - A high end customization used by pilots. Using efficient parts and techniques, this upgrade allows MAS's to add an additional +5 PWR to their generator output. 31/35PWR, 35/35WT

It's 4am, going to sleep. Will edit mistakes found once I wake up~poi! Also, not sure why the hider isn't working properly. That and I might change the character image when I wake. Plus, in accordance to certain things, here's my comment: Maki doesn't have her height labelled :3

[Reaper]

<Snipped quote by vietmyke> YES! I can join, right? I can make character~poi?! *clasps hands together tightly with a puppy-eye look*

@Kimiyosis

"Poi" is from a character in KanColle, isn't it?

[Whoami]

Alternatively, Princess, since you have the benefit of being an AI. I could imagine a network interface with the Carrier being quite possible. Perhaps you could be the unit's designator so the Lincoln can get firing solutions from orbit and allow for bombardment, missile strikes, air support from bomber wings, precision supply drops, infantry drop pods(?). If a networked interface with the Lincoln isn't your cup of tea, you could run an electronic warfare MAS like what I was initially planning in this RP. Being an AI, I imagine hacking into other MAS units and security systems would be quite easy. You could deactivate a leg or mask the unit's signatures from sensors or even start self-destruct codes.

[Harbringer]

Or...even cause the cockpit's coffee machine to ENDLESSLY MAKE WEAK COFFEE

[Reaper]

Or intrude on people's privacy while they're in the loo.

@Whoami

I don't think I'm going to allow the hacking of MAS's, especially not the self destruction of enemy MAS's. While messing with sensors or targeting systems is something you could do with equipment, you can't really plug into another machine's system when it's completely separate. Also, it's not like every single MAS on both sides run like.. Windows.. They have different operating systems, so unless the AI was compatible with coalition systems, or at least able to learn coalition systems, hacking them would be out of the question.

[Harbringer]

We all know MAS are Linux geez.
